Postcards from Mr Bingo: hate mail that's first class – in pictures

'I get emails every day begging me for hate mail,' says illustrator
Mr Bingo, referring to the vintage postcards he embellishes with insults and sends out. 'People order them for themselves or their loved ones: wives, girlfriends... sometimes even their mum.' Mr Bingo had the idea when he was 'feeling a bit naughty' one evening. He promised an offensive missive to the first person who responded to a tweet and was swamped. Comparing the project to getting picked on by a standup, he says: 'It's funny to be insulted. And post is usually dull. Or bad news.'

"Sometimes I do get feedback from recipients. The best thing I got sent was a chocolate swiss roll which had 'fucker' written on it in icing. I didn’t eat it. I just took some pictures of it on a vintage plate."
